This policy describes what information we collect when you use Wavi's site, services, products, and content (“Services”). It also provides information about how we store, transfer, use, and delete that information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.
This policy applies to Wavi's online meeting recording & transcription tool, including the website and web applications, and other Wavi websites (collectively “the Websites”), as well as other interaction (e.g. customer support conversations, user surveys and interviews etc.) you may have with Wavi.
This policy applies where we are acting as a Data Controller with respect to the personal data of users of our Services; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that personal data. For content and data that you upload to or make available through the Service (“User Content”), you are responsible for ensuring this content is in accordance with our Terms of Service, and that the content is not violating other users’ privacy.
At Wavi, we prioritize safeguarding our users' privacy. Our business model is to provide a paid service to users who need to record, index and store meeting recordings, and does not rely on widespread collection of general user data. We will only collect and process information that we need to deliver the service to you, and to continue to maintain and develop the service.
Wavi does not access your recordings and transcripts at any point, unless you personally share access with individual employees for technical support. Also in those cases only recordings and transcripts with access rights given to the support team member will be accessed.
Wavi may collect, store and process various kinds of data, with different legal grounds, as listed below. We will not sell collected data to other companies.
Users who choose to register with Wavi will create their accounts directly through our platform. We will collect and store the email address, name, and organization name provided during the registration process.
We collect metadata to provide context about the Service's usage. The usage data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. The source of the usage data is our server software and our analytics tracking system.
Wavi logs activities by you and other users when the users interact with our websites or apps, when a page or a room is visited or where there is a conversation. We will never access the content in conversations, unless upon specific request by the user who recorded this content with our Services.
We alert participants when they join meetings if you are recording a meeting with our service. Participants have the option to leave the meeting. As you are using Wavi to record meetings, you are responsible for collecting consents from all participants in the meeting prior to starting the recording. The transcript, which may also contain personal data, is treated the same way as the video recording. Video recordings and transcripts will not be accessed by Wavi, unless upon specific request by the user who created such recordings with Wavi. We do use the OpenAI API to summarize information in meeting transcripts but it is not stored by either WAVI or OpenAI in any way. Transcript information and summarized information is not accessible by WAVI unless specific consent is given.
Like most digital services, our servers automatically collect information when Websites or Services are accessed or used and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited within the Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
Wavi may collect and process information about devices used to access the Services, including type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect and process some or all of this information depends on the type of device used and its settings.

Wavi may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests cf.
